“Hauntology is probably the first major trend in critical theory to have flourished online. In October 2006, Mark Fisher—aka k-punk—described it as ‘the closest thing we have to a movement, a zeitgeist’. A mere three years later, Adam Harper prefaced a piece on the subject with the following caveat: ‘I'm all too aware that it's no longer 2006, the year to blog about hauntology’. Two months ago, James Bridle predicted that the concept was ‘about six months away from becoming the title of a column in a Sunday supplement magazine’. Only four months to go, then. My hunch is that hauntology is already haunting itself. The revival starts here.”
